File encryption provides strongest security for sensitive data
As enterprises seek effective methods to protect sensitive data both in transit and at rest, file encryption may be employed A significant challenge organizations face with any type of cryptographic solution is the protection and management of encryption and signing keys. These keys are a critical part of the encryption and decryption process, and their security is paramount. To address the challenges associated with file encryption solutions leading enterprises around the world turn to software and hardware products from nCipher.

nCipher software makes file encryption simpler
File encryption is highly reliant on managing and protecting the keys that are critical for encrypting and decrypting data. If not handled efficiently, the many tasks associated with key management — creating, distributing, archiving, retrieving, backing up keys and more — can become an administrative burden and compromise the quality of key security. nCipher's keyAuthority is an enterprise key management system that brings centralized and automated key management to the encryption of applications, databases, files and more. Because keyAuthority streamlines and simplifies key management, organizations can achieve significant reductions in operational expenses while providing greater key security. Risk can be more easily minimized since keyAuthority makes it easier to enforce high-security policies. And regulatory compliance is easier to ensure with automated keyAuthority's key provisioning.
Get superior encryption of databases, applications and files with innovative hardware
To increase the effectiveness of file encryption and other cryptographic solutions, nCipher also offers a broad range of hardware products. nCipher's Hardware Security Modules are designed to provide added security for cryptographic keys. These FIPS 140-2 validated devices include netHSM, a shareable resource for multiple servers, and nShield, a dedicated and tamper-resistant module for advanced security. nCipher's SSL solutions include PCI offload and accelerator cards that allow SSL encryption to be used pervasively throughout an organization without impacting server performance. nCipher's time stamping solutions enable enterprise to integrate time stamp functionality into critical applications. And nCipher's Classified Document Security Server allows enterprises to integrate streamlined document authentication into a variety of applications.
nCipher also offers cryptography and data security solutions for time stamping, PKI deployments, including a Windows PKI solution, and an SSL solution for accelerating SSL TLS transactions.
